Fish carcasses from a massive fish kill in the Bay Jimmy area of Plaquemines Parish are pictured in this handout photograph. The cause of the fish kill has not yet been determined, but the fish were discovered in an area that was heavily impacted by oil from the BP oil spill. Among the fish dead were pogie fish, redfish, shrimp, crabs and freshwater eels.
